Time for my weekly update! After a few weeks of consistent weight loss, I was interested to see what would happen this week on the scale.

Note: There will be an announcement at the end about this week's blog schedule.Unfortunately, the weight loss streak did NOT continue, but it was a really good run! Here are the numbers...

Stephen's Progress Numbers

Weight:

Starting Weight: 350 lbs (8/1/2012)Last week's weight: 236.2 lbs

This week's weight: 237.5

This week's loss: +1.3 lbs Total Weight Loss: 112.5 (32.0%)

Body Fat %:

Last Week: 25.1 %

This Week: 24.7 %

Difference: -.4%

Waist Measurement: (At Belly Button)

Last Week: 41.5 "

This Week: 42.0 "

Difference: +.5Note: I am measuring right at the belly button with no slack and I am not "sucking in" at all. My current pants size is a 36 or 38 waist, but my official measurement is higher on the widest part of my waist.

Several weeks ago, when I first broke out of the obese category (below 240), it was very important to me to stay under that particular mark. As you now know, I continued to lose and got as low as 236.2. Even though I had a rebound this week, I feel like the overall trend will continue to take me lower and closer to my goal weight.

In other news, I have decided to train for another race. Here in GA, the weather has finally cooled off, and I am feeling very motivated to get out and train. My plan is to look for another 5K to run in, with the goal of improving my time. After this, I may look towards a 10K.

Announcement: This week, our school system will be out for fall break, so I will be on vacation with my family. :-) I do plan on posting one mid-week post this week, but I will not be home in time for my weekly weigh-in next Sunday. So... No Weekly Update next Sunday, but I will be back in two weeks with my normal update.
